FORMOSA: No Third Term

Wearing his light beige uniform without
ribbons, in the fashion of generals who have come to political power,
President Chiang Kaishek, 71, the man who has guided the Republic of
China's destinies for some 30 years, smiled broadly and spoke
confidently of the years ahead. He scarcely glanced at a small scrap of
paper holding his brief notes, as he addressed the 1,700 members of
Nationalist China's Mainland Recovery Planning Board. He stood straight
without leaning on the speaker's stand, occasionally sipped from a
glass of boiled water.
